ATA: EU4Culture programme ends after the restoration of 23 cultural sites

The EU4Culture program, funded by the European Union, has concluded in Albania after the restoration and renovation of 23 cultural heritage sites damaged during the 2019 earthquake. The project, implemented by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), was valued at 40 million euros and ran from October 2025 to June 2026. It aimed to restore earthquake-damaged sites and promote the sustainable use of cultural heritage. UNOPS organized a two-day tour for journalists to visit several restored sites across Tirana, Durres, Bashkimi, and Kavaj. The initiative, carried out in collaboration with Albania’s Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sports, contributed to preserving cultural heritage, supporting tourism, local economic development, job creation, and revitalizing public spaces for cultural activities.

Аджерпрес: Реставрираната крепост Саскиз от 14-ти век в Трансилвания отваря врати за посетители

The 14th-century Săsiz Fortress, also known as the Peasants' Fortress, built by Saxons in seven Transylvanian villages in Romania as a refuge against invading armies, has reopened to visitors daily since July 1st between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Local authorities announced the reopening on the fortress's official page, inviting visitors to experience a unique blend of history, heritage, and scenery.

It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Mureș County and visible from the national road E60 between Brașov and Sighișoara. The fortress has inspired numerous local legends, including tales of secret underground passages connecting it to the evangelical church in the village center and stories about merchants who had to carry stones uphill for its construction. The restoration project, costing over 8.4 million lei (approximately 1.7 million euros), was funded through the Regional Operational Program 2014–2020 and implemented by the local community.
